Chilli Halloum - NL




Servings: Makes about 30
Level of difficulty: Easy
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes


Ingredients:

2 tbsp red chillies, fresh, chopped and deseeded (about 2 medium chillies)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 packets halloum cheese, 250g each, sliced medium thin (i.e., just under half a centimetre)
1/4 lemon, juice only

Method:

1. Mix the chopped chilli and olive oil in a small bowl or cup and leave the flavours to deepen while you cook the cheese.
2. using a non-stick frying pan, without any oil, give the cheese slices about two minutes a side until they're golden brown in parts.
3. When all the slices of halloum are cooked transfer them to a couple of smallish plates.
4. Give the chilli oil a stir, spoon it over the cheese then give a spritz of lemon.

Enjoy...
